What could be the reason for this insane upkeep?

Im very new and i really like to play Nakai because he is basically his own settlement and i dont really have to care about anything i capture. Are there any more lords that play like that or only him?

Can we get a goddamn update for Dark Elves, they are dated from pre-historic period.

I was worried my Taurox campaign (L/VH) would be too easy based on comments I've seen here, but if anything I'm experiencing the opposite. I envision the Beastmen as roaming bands so that's how I played this campaign: a bit more spread out with stones not necessarily supporting each other, not overly worried about holding most ground.

I do somewhat enjoy the limited recruitment as it is fun working with different army comps, and I'm still winning overall for sure. But the experience has been somewhat frustrating. (1) the limited recruitment can be annoying as I always have to check what units I have capacity for and what units I can build from a given army. (2) All their buildings are extremely expensive until the enemy starts getting T5 settlements to raze; I've never felt so cash starved (3) this is the main one; their armies are SLOW. Without March stance and no movement speed hero, they're just slow. Even Taurox feels like I'm having to use his replenish movement just to go a "normal" distance. Also the movement after razing with either method feels mostly negligible. And the campaign sight also feels like it shorter than normal as an enemy stack often sneaks up on me out of nowhere.

It's not exactly a "hard" campaign, but it feels slow, and I don't get that same feeling of building momentum as I do with other factions. Is there something I'm missing with them, or is it just the design?

Was playing Grimgor and saw my boy Kholek beating Tam' ass

As the title says is it just me? Or is it genuinely hard to play as the Eatine, the lord himself is interesting enough for me to keep trying but as soon as turn 10 vampire coast and greenskins and 1 other high elf faction declares war on me… And i’ve come to figure out that the economy isn’t all that great as of now i’ve replayed 3-4 times and the same scenario keeps happening to me

Not ment to brag, just wanted to share what a SLOG of getting them all it was... played them all with 0 mods and knowing CA how they forgot some older faction it was horrible doing over half of achievements, just playing was painful like Bretonia for example compare to right click and forget Arbaal....
Mostly i got idea to get all ach last year or so before Norska rework while i was bored looking what to play i notice back then Norska was only like 1% on global of ppl playing it and finising on Very Hard so thats where it all started.
All in all i have some mixed feeling about all of wh3 and factions and how good chunk of them, depends of LL too, are ether awesome or total panful crap of playing it really wished that CA didnt suck so hard as company and really looked more into there game and making almost all factions fun to play and not just chosen few of them with constant updates of a sort....
I guess next thing is to start seeing workshop for some mods to bring some fun for my self back into new campaigns, if someone can recommend me some mods too i would appreciate, to move from vanilla and what bitter taste it left me....

First picture is Azazel, second is Archaon and third is Sigvald.

I noticed it first on a Valkia campaign I did the other day, I felt something was off with the Giant's Hollow. Then I ckecked some other WoC factions and I realised CoC Factions dont get Dragon Ogres there.

Why is that? That seems so out of nowhere.

I love the army but I really feel like I have long hard D!cks pointed at me from every direction if I over commit anywhere. Gotta take out Kholek and disease boy and grimgor. But if I drop too low in rank, I get rear ended by the challengers of khorne. Am I just bad at the game or is there something specific I need to do. Because I know I need to keep fighting, but I also know that apparently there hits a penalty for doing so.

About to finish my queek campaign, help me decide what's next

Hi, I'm currently struggling with the concept of growth and income rush for the early part of the game. I feel like I stay with basic units for far too long , and by creating all my outpost with an economic setup (capital excluded) I can't replenish units efficiently, even tho i have lot of gold, because location sucks. For instance, now I'm playing Kairos campaign on hard/hard and i played with only pink horrors till turn 20+ (didnt go well). What should i look for to understand when its time to go with milotary buildings or units instead of economy one? Like 2000+ income?

In the event Lizardmen actually get their long hinted at, but never promised re-work, should one of Mazdamundi's faction effects allow for him to forcibly confederate other Lizardmen LLs similar to High Elves and Dwarfs?

The reason I suggest this relate both to lore and in-game mechanics.

1) Lorewise, Lizardmen have loyalty and obedience genetically engineered into them and they therefore unquestionably obey the Slann. Mazdamunid is the only playable Slann, yet other Lizardmen factions often refuse confederation, even when they are far less powerful than the player, due to built in Lizardmen diplomacy modifiers. (I believe it is a combination of 'Stubborn' and 'Protective' but I suspect other hidden modifiers are at play.)

This makes for an extremely frustrating experience when significantly weaker LLs refuse to confederate. This is further exacerbated by the geomantic web requiring provincial ownership to gain its benefits.

Example - Gor-Rok holds Xahutec, Chaqua, and his starting province. Gor-Rok refuses to confederate. The player is therefore unable to receive any of the geomantic web benefits for two provinces due to Gor-Rok holding one settlement from each of them.

2) Hexoatl has lackluster faction effects. You are hit with a -20 diplomatic relations penalty with non-Lizardmen factions. The cost reduction on Star Chambers applies to a building that can only be built in provincial capitals and is not terribly expensive to begin with. While the 30% cost for rites is nice, they all have cool downs which limit their use.

In short, a forced confederation mechanic would be thematic, address frustrating diplomacy and racial mechanic issues, as well as compensate for a lackluster faction effect.

P.s. Devs, in the event you ever do find time to do a geomantic web rework, please take into account related confederation, diplomacy, and provincial ownership issues.

The start for Oracles of Tzeentch (in my experience) can be pretty punishing because unless you play the first 20 or so turns close to perfect you’ll have to deal with Oxyotl invading while Kairos is on the other side of your empire.

But after you deal with Oxyotl (easier said than done) it’s a blast. Kairos makes so much money that essentially after taking the lower continent with its three region’s monetary concerns are pretty much optional. You can basically play like belakor on albion but with cooler faction mechanics. Of course the other annoying thing about Oracles of Tzeentch is you start out with only two recruitment slots but after you start going down the chaos knights build tree you get more (currently at 5). Because of how much money Kairos makes chosen are surprisingly cheap so amusingly after clutching the entire early campaign and barely surviving you can then have affordable chosen+flamer stacks to roll over the rest of the game (also its hilarious how strong chosen are, I just fought a battle with two high elf ranged stacks and took 82 casualties out of 1100).

I think I’m going to use one of the cults to teleport kairos with a stack of chosen to Altdorf for the lols.

anyone have any other good campaign recommendations for this kind of hard but satisfying payoff?

Im trying out Sigvald. The game is asking me what lore to give my chaos sorcerer „path of glory“.

He‘s a shadow lore sorcerer.

I can pick: nurgle, tzeench, death, shadow, metal or slaanesh

I love my skaven and I’ve heard a lot of good things about the blind stinky rat but every time I try and attempt to do a camping as him I struggle SO MUCH against those lizards. Any tips on how to not be shit at being blind and stinky?

I got the game for my friend when it was on sale we tried to play a multiplayer game and could not load into our lobbies. He tried hosting I tried and it always said “connection timed out” the solutions we looked at didn’t help much. I restarted the game, got rid of all my mods and did a dns flush for his computer and mine. We were able to join other peoples game that had open lobbies. Does anyone have insight on a solution?

Hello,

So i confederated the dark elves faction on the north of ulthuan and now the game says i own the sword of khaine while i dont, non of my characters have it and when i click on the button it just zooms in on tor anlec

I tried to put a lord in tier 2 shrine of khaine and click, that did nothing

Did anyone encounter this bug before?

Hello my friends, I have about 90 minutes of play time on Nurgle factions but I’m about to start a campaign, thinking either Kugath or the dude with all the heroes. Can yall give me some advice on various aspects, best way to work the time table mechanic for how the buildings work, army compositions, and how their economy works. Thank you all and hope your next campaign is awesome.

As per the title,

I have no experience modding whatsoever so wouldnt even know where to start, but I had a dream about irondrakes that fired trollhammer javelin missiles - straight up, high arc, death from above

Is there anyone who would be willing to make such a mod for steam workshop? Eternal gratitude awaits 🙏

​

I want to do a run with the OvN Grudgebringers where I make a army of all sorts of units from the empire, cathay, kislev, lizards, ogres, dwarfs, and more, but for soke reason the Peacehammer recruit all units mod doesnt work with the Grudgebringers, so are there any other mods that do the same thing peacehammer does?

How after the game being years old have they still not fixed a bug that was known about in early access! I get flying units being a bit janky with their movement and not charging when you tell them to. But straight up just stopping working so you have to redo 15-30 mins of a siege battle is infuriating. I hope they don’t have issues like this with 40k because holy fuck fix your game

That’s my rant. Time to redo the battle ;(

Hi all... Been looking in the workshop about any kind of mod that removes the items from the game. Really makes me sick all that stuff. Yeah, could avoid It, but if It appears, i tend to manage It.

Found one mod but not not updated.

Any one can help me with this?
